Music, interacting with people and travelling…Music is everywhere and live is boring without it. Because years ago I was a singer and I had to quit because of my health I guess I just stopped playing music because it reminded me of good old times that would come no more. It took me years to accept that my singing career was over but lately I have discovered my love for music and musicians again. I can now enjoy a good musician or song without feeling frustrated or sad that it isn't me standing there on the stage or singing on the cd. I'm back in love with the music and am trying to promote and present to you artists who really deserve it to be discovered but who don’t have the money or the back-up yet to promote themselves…
Interacting with people and that is why music and travelling are such nice things to do. I have discovered that in different parts of the world many people are more alike than we will think at first. A musician is a musician, doesn't matter if he lives somewhere in Africa or in Europe. Interests connect people everywhere.
If there was no need in working or money wouldn’t be a problem I would only be travelling to see the world I have seen a lot already, been to Brazil, Mexico (4 times!), Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Belize, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, Singapore, Turkey, Morocco , Tunisia, New York (!), Portugal & Spain and of course a lot of city's in Europe. I really loooooooooove Paris, could probably live there. But my life is to short for all the places in the world I want to discover, Damm! High on my list are Nepal, Tanzania, Peru and the Caribbean. But for the sake of music I would also travel the 5 music states in the US, visit Arizona, Texas and New Orleans. Nashville Nashville, someone take me to Nashville and Austin please!

WHAT OR WHO IS YIMA?
I'm not a company, I dont have a fancy office nor a car BUT: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF RAPTURE...
I do believe in independent artists and somewhere in 2007 I suddenly became a independent music agent, called on by many independent artists. As I am on my own and want to give 100 % believe & 200% hard work to my artists, I sadly have to turn a lot of them down. But do keep track on talent with me!
history... Beginning of 2007 I called on Dutch TV and Radio and finally in March and April 2007 I had the chance to book promising bands/ artists for a a late-night live programm at NOX.tv on TV10/Talpa, soon after that I could tip music for Dutch TMF/MTV tv programm 'Presented', which also was a great chance for upcoming bands. I'm really fet up with all the Idols/ X-factor/ singing and dancing with stars shit, so I wanted to use my contacts to get really good music into a national live television show. Artists like; Sabrina Starke!, K-OZ Collective, A Silent Express, Ian Britt and others... It's hard: TVcompanies don't understand anything about real talents and think their viewers only want to see soapstars singing out of tune. Unfortunatly the tv10 program has stopped and TMF Presented is off season but I found out that Independent Artists still need support in every way. So much talent and so little responce from the big guys! Soon a lot of great artists and bands came up to me and said they needed my help. From the moment I started to promote the very talented IAN BRITT(UK) things started cooking and this is where I am now...
Shane Alexander will tour trough Holland between march 23th and april 1st. Check him out!

Zal het mee nemen met mijn programma tegen die tijd dat the epstein moet spelen in hhw.Heb hun myspace bekeken en in die bewuste uitzending draai ik wel een track van hun.
Succes met de promotie en als je meer van dit soort dingen heb hou me dan op de hoogte!.
Hope youre good! No plans to come back out yet (although I want to).. Once Ive made a buck or 2, a tour is definately on the cards.. However if the venues can sort pay and accomodation then that would be very good... Let me know xx
Hi Inge, klinkt te gek, dank je wel!! We hopen zoooo dat we in de top 3 zitten... super dat er hulptroepen op weg zijn :D ! Dank je wel! Met Mildred in het team komen we er zeker wel, ze is inderdaad een echte kanjer, super sterk en daadkrachtig maar daarnaast ook nog eens een heel fijn mens. :D ! Blijheid alom! Liefs,
Ha Inge, bedankt! Was op vakantie en wist niet eens dat Dolf Jansen me heeft gedraaid. te gek :-) En dank ook voor het doorgeven van 11 okt. Ben benieuwd. Groetjes, Sonja
he yima, thank youfor your kind words. though i have to say that in austria there is some kind of a singer songwriter rising here with good tunes at the moment. of course, i cant deny my influences, just carry on what i like with my eyes and ears:-))) cheers and all the best, norb
Hoi 'agent' Inge ;-) Dank voor de uitnodiging en je lieve woorden. Ja, die Shane, he's really somethin'. Alle goeds en moois en wie weet tot ziens. *Kaat
Hi Inge, Thank you for your comment:) I can't remember how I found you - I sometimes just travel (on myspace) in a lateral line and find myself one moment in Alaska, another in Nashville and the next in Holland! Anyway, it's very nice to know you and maybe our paths will cross down the line (the real line - not the myspace lateral line) Kind regards, Steve
Tja, het is al geen 80 uur meer, maar 87 om precies te zijn... Erg he. Vind het leuk hoor;-) Maar je had helemaal gelijk. Zeker Sabrina, die staat de 20e feb bij ons! En de kaartverkoop loopt best lekker. In Apeldoorn ben ik even gestopt met de cafeconcerten. Ik broed op een nieuw idee. In de tussentijd komt de koningin op 30 April bij ons. Daar ben ik ook druk mee. Kijken of er een leuk feestje is te organiseren... Hou me op de hoogte van je ideeen. Je hebt er immers neus voor!
